Maitland Race 9 - Hunter Concrete Group
FIREBALL ZED (4) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (20.80) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Grafton. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. SMOKE AND FLAME (2) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when third (17.85) at Taree Super Track and may be close to breaking through. Expected to feature again. JILLIBY DAN (7) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Norma Said (22.78) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Will give a great sight again. PROUD CHOICE (5) must be included in calculations.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 340m at Bulli. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 7 length third over 300m at Taree Super Track, clocking 17.85. Should prove hard to beat.

Last start finished 5th over 350m at Grafton beaten 6 lengths (20.80) behind Aussie Storm in a Grade 5 on March 23. Capable of a strong show.

Was out of the placings last time at The Gardens but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Has a squeeze box to navigate and looks a each way chance only this field.
